Drive your dream with Bowater Honda

The new Honda CR-V. It's More.

The Honda Civic is a favourite around the world, valued for its quality, performance, styling and reliability. The new Euro Civic has all of the qualities the badge has stood for since 1972; qualities that more than 20 million customers globally have enjoyed for over 40 years.

The 9th generation Euro Civic adds a new dimension, bringing sportiness, versatility and performance in a fresh design, priced from just $29,900 (+on road costs, saving you $3000 on the old price 09/04/2014). It is still individual, high quality, practical and reliable. The spacious hatch is packed with convenient features, uses less fuel and emits less CO2; the drive is dynamic and responsive, but at the same time comfortable and assured.

Research found the Civic Hatch customer considered modern styling and performance to be important; they wanted a car that was cost efficient to run and eco friendly, as well as advanced technologically. The new Euro Civic Hatch has ticked all of those boxes, and is perfect for the modern New Zealander. The 5 star ANCAP safety rating gives you peace of mind whilst technology like Honda's Eco Assist with Econ mode make it easier to be green.

A new class of hatch.

Honda’s meticulous engineers know that true quality can be sensed, as well as seen. Designed to meet the demands of the European market the Euro Civic is a performance car with lifestyle and cutting-edge design in mind.The sleek aerodynamic shape of the Euro Civic delivers fuel efficiency and a smoother drive. With distinguished design touches the Euro Civic doesn't compromise on style or substance from concealed rear door handles to daytime LED running lights.

We took the all new Euro Civic up to the cathedral for a photo shoot - it is one stylish looking car!

The advertising for this European inspired design is also very European - although this is an overseas commercial, a version of this was still aired on our networks in New Zealand - selling the euro version of the Honda dream still applies to our market apparently! Whilst this may not be the south of France or Italy, the top of the south of New Zealand is our equivilant of it and the European dream is very transferrable - picture yourself cruising up the Moutere highway on a glorious spring day, heading out to a vineyard for a long lazy weekend lunch...... see easy!

Perhaps you would like a less dramatic and emotional look at the car? Take the time to watch this beautifully shot video. Again it is an overseas spec car, but you can get the general idea.

If you would like to get to grips with this very sleek European inspired hatch in person, and take it for a test drive, come on down and speak to us at Bowater Honda. We can help you drive your own version of this dream today!

Supporting the Brook Sanctuary

The Brook Sanctuary is returning nature to the Nelson Region. They are undertaking a very ambitious and visionary project, and amongst other very important projects they are currently working on raising funds to place a 14km predator-proof fence that will create a 700ha native wildlife experience close to Nelson’s city centre.

The Bowater Motor Group are right behind them on this project, and we have injected our own support during the initial public fundraising phase of the project by enabling them to have a campaign office downtown in the heart of Nelson.
